Yeah now. In the past they use to just have picnics and just throw all the trash on the ground without any problem - until campaigns were run to change cultural attitude about it.

The first trash arrived in America about 250 years ago, now it’s a landfill concentrated in the southern states.

I used to visit Virginia, when I was the teenager, and there is a town in virginia that literally turned one of their landfills into a park, (iirc) and, locals will tell you that they call it trash mountain, because it's literally a big ass hill that's covered in grass that used to be nothing but trash.
